In December, for UFC 194, we were introduced to Conor McGregor's 'movement coach' Ido Portal. Movement is something which McGregor spoke about extensively in the build-up to his title fight Jose Aldo. Portal is again playing a part in the Dubliner's preparations for his bout with Nate Diaz on Saturday.

In episode two of Embedded for UFC 196, Diaz makes his first appearance. Unfortunately, there is no sign of his brother Nick. In a pretty sombre demeanour, for Nate Diaz at least, he dismisses all McGregor's talk of movement as being key to his preparations. Diaz claims it is something which he incorporated into his training long ago.

We also see McGregor put through an intense gymnastic ring session with Portal and he meets UFC legend Royce Gracie at one of his gyms.
